marshacher Posted November 14, 2011 #1 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Does anyone know how many outlets there are in the Accessible rooms on the Emerald Princess. We have 2 pieces of equip that need to be charged at night and were told not to use the power strips. Any comment on this. We have a scooter and an Inogen One G2 portable concentrator. Thanks.

Mindy97 Posted November 14, 2011 #2 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Princess is my company of choice. I always bring a heavy duty triple tap for the outlet by the desk. I ask the room steward for an extension cord, and he brings me a heavy duty 25' cord. I plug the scooter in at the desk (and also the computer or any other one item) and then run the extension under the bed to my side and hook the POC up there. Hope this helps. M.

WEELYNCRUZER Posted November 14, 2011 #3 Share Posted November 14, 2011 2 outlets at the desk and 1 by the night stand. I agree to bring a 3 outlet adapter with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshacher Posted November 14, 2011 Author #4 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Mindy97 - do you plug both the scooter and oxygen concentrator into the 3 or 5 outlet power strip? Define "heavy duty triple tap". The Inogen instructions were not to use a power strip. I'm hoping there's more than 1 outlet in the cabin. There was on our other cruise line last year. Thanks for your reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katisdale Posted November 14, 2011 #5 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I have a scooter and DH uses a CPAP machine. I plug the scooter into the plug at the desk. We put the CPAP on the bedside table and plug it into the European 240 plug on the wall behind the bed. You lose the use of one of the bedside lamps if you do this. The CPAP is dual voltage but of course has an American 110 plug. We simply use a plug adaptor. The steward always helps by pulling the bed away from the wall so we can access the plug and then pushing the bed back. The last time we were on Emerald we were in Caribe 312 an inside accessible cabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshacher Posted November 14, 2011 Author #6 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Thank you all. You have eased our minds. I always go to the CC boards when I need good info. You people always come thru. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindy97 Posted November 15, 2011 #7 Share Posted November 15, 2011 A 3-plug heavy duty adapter is NOT a power strip. It is a short, fat plug which makes a single outlet into three. It is generally orange colored, same as the heavy duty extension cords. If I haven't made myself clear enough let me know and I will try to find a picture of one online for you.

marshacher Posted November 15, 2011 Author #8 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Thanks Fern. I will try and look for one, but if you find a picture of the plug could you e-mail it to me at mwchernick@verizon.net. You know the old saying about 1 picture worth a thous words.

marshacher Posted November 15, 2011 Author #10 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Thank you "Dad". That's what I found on line. The plug was $1.00 and shipping was $4.00. Will check local hardware store. Beats taking a heavy heavy-duty power strip. Hope my cabin steward can supply an extension cord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshacher Posted November 20, 2011 Author #11 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Princess just confirmed we have 4 outlets in our accessible cabin. We should have no problem. Thank you all for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treven Posted December 8, 2011 #12 Share Posted December 8, 2011 When I was on the Sea Princess, May '10, I unplugged the TV when I was ready to go to sleep. I was able to charge an extra electronic adult toy overnight by using that outlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindy97 Posted December 8, 2011 #13 Share Posted December 8, 2011 On Princess I always ask my room steward for a heavy duty extension cord so that I can charge my POC at bedside as I sleep. Once I forgot to plug it in and woke up frantic. The batteries still had a bit of juice, so I was OK, but definitely worried me. I learned that having the extension cord isn't enough; I have to plug the POC into it. DUH. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
